Audition Application

Thank you for your interest in the Youth Orchestras. You may fill out and submit this form at any time during the year and your information will be held until the next available audition. Official auditions are held in late August/early September. Midyear auditions are held in early January. (Note that musicians auditioning in January will not be competing for seating. They will audition for acceptance only.)

Interested young players are welcome to bring their instruments to a rehearsal during our regular season, September through May, (Sundays 2:00-3:30, 4:00-6:00, 6:30-9:00pm in the band room at Fresno State) and sit in with one of our orchestras. It's a great way to find out what we offer!

Please note that we have added two questions to the end of this form. Your answers to these questions will help us collect demographic data we must have when we apply for grants, so we really appreciate your taking time to include this information.

If you have trouble submitting, check back to see if you have skipped any required questions.

Thank you!
